Louie, I'll never forget your incredible presence, humor, humility, guidance, and fun during our years with American Buffalo. You were the rock! My condolences and prayers are with Kathy and the entire Crisa family.

TO Kathy and Family, I don't know if you remember me, I use to babysit for your children, my name is Gloria from E. 52nd St. Its funny how you find things out, my mom was reading the newspaper and saw Louie's obituary. I am so sorry to hear about Louie. As I remember,he was such a nice guy. Friendly and pleasant. Please let the family know I am thinking of all of you. Gloria DiPasquale Staten Island
